What's happening in water

Water is precious here in the desert. We strive to use every drop as efficiently as possible because saved drops = saved water. In fact, in 2018, Gilbert residents, staff, HOAs, businesses, and churches saved 375 million gallons of water through a combination of free Water Conservation programs!

I know, it’s a strange question. But the answer is even stranger: yes, trees do sweat. The technical term for tree sweat is transpiration, when water is pulled from roots to the leaves where it changes to water vapor and evaporates, and is an essential function for plants to live.

Since 2017, Gilbert Water Conservation has provided 22 Smart Irrigation Controllers to local businesses, HOAs and schools as part of our Water Efficient Technology Incentive (WETI). This program is designed to help non-single family residential customers increase water efficiency in their landscape

Understanding how water moves around the planet is something most of us learned at a young age. Natural forces, such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation and transpiration constantly change the state of water.

Water is precious here in the desert and we can all do our part to save… We know that means us, too! Gilbert Water Conservation works hard to help our Gilbert facilities use water as efficiently as possible by providing the same services we offer to our Gilbert community.

Water is precious here in the desert and we can all do our part to save. In Gilbert, we have free tools, such as water efficiency checkups and technology upgrades, to help local businesses be as water wise as possible.
